    I dreamed the World had all agreed to put an end to War!

    Probably......because a slew of singers have performed Ed McCurdy's most famous song, including:

    John Denver
    Pete Seeger
    Simon & Garfield
    The Weavers
    The Chad Mitchell Trip
    Johnny Cash
    Garth Brooks

    '60s and '70s, I suppose, spawned quite a number of them, some being quite explicit: "The Back-Stabbers", "Smiling Faces Sometimes.....(they don't tell the truth)".

    Here's one I've always particularly liked: "Sunshine", by Jonathan Edwards, 1971:




    "The Back Stabbers", O'Jays, 1972
